@Kiel_Samsing @FireMedic40NJ I don’t have a dog in this fight. As i said from the beginning it’s a reference to the legal entity, and doesn’t take anything away from the service you provide. Go ahead and take the high ground now after you delete the emotionally charged tweets.

@FireMedic40NJ @garnertb It's my opinion, and regardless of what you think, it's a non emotionally invested one. No one is "butthurt" or whatever colorful words you use to describe our opinions. Just be honest with your locality and citizens. It ends up with the best results for all involved.

Can you call it a volunteer fire dept if there is 1-2 volunteers and paid staff runs all the calls? Apparently so... just scrap the lying names already.

@Kiel_Samsing No one cares what the sign says but you. You perceive it as an insult, that there is a conspiracy to “lie” and call it a volunteer dept. there’s not, focus on shit that matters.

@garnertb See that's where you're wrong. Came up a volunteer & think it's a great system. Think highly of volunteers & spend a lot of time training and precepting them. When a dept is completely run by a paid staff it's an insult to the folks that make it run by feigning that it's a VFD.

"I sell books for breakfast" vs. "I eat books for breakfast"

@FFBehavior I've certainty been guilty of this on size ups/narratives. What's the recommended alternative?

Tip: Stop saying and writing "fully-involved dumpster fire." It's a dumpster. Trash. You weren't working in the hope of saving the contents.

My order's in, is yours?

10 box, get after it!

@FFBehavior @ffparamedic114 @gschwalbe The data regards deaths, but the conclusion regards risk (ie "We aren’t dying inside. Go inside." means the perceived risk of dying during interior ops is low based on counts). If you don't normalize for exposures, you can't draw meaningful relationships b/t the activities.

@garnertb @ffparamedic114 @gschwalbe Still incorrect. Data regards the deaths. Risk is too much a variable across the U.S. fire service. We don’t track our fatality data that way. And again, definitions say otherwise regarding interior fatalities v. others.

@FFBehavior @ffparamedic114 @gschwalbe Not sure that changes anything. Using counts alone leaves out the critical contextual information needed to compare risk level across activities. Compare number of deaths per exposure and who knows we could be dying inside at a higher rate than any other FD activity.

@garnertb @ffparamedic114 @gschwalbe Still not a fallacy. Numbers, even activity type, are based on the official definition of "on-duty" and in another, "line of duty." Now, if this view of all on-duty deaths only look at fireground operations, you would be correct. But it does not. This looks at the whole.

@FFBehavior @ffparamedic114 @gschwalbe The fallacy is the misapplied reasoning and conclusion based off the numbers. An infrequent activity with a lower number of deaths can still pose a significantly higher risk than frequent activities with a larger number of deaths.

@garnertb @ffparamedic114 @gschwalbe I would agree with that, however it is not a fallacy. Data, and the activity comparisons, come from USFA and other nat'l. organizations. Mine highlights fatality truth over fear-mongering and incorrect (sometimes blatantly false) risk-management promotions.
